MS Has Free Software Removed From U.N. Paper

linumax writes "Microsoft asked for references to free software to be removed from a document presented at last week's UN World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) conference, the software giant admitted on Friday. The Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE) is unhappy that the document was changed and claims that even though it was on the panel discussing the document, it was not made aware of Microsoft's changes. The document (2.8MB PDF), known as the Vienna Conclusions, discusses issues around IT and creativity. The original draft of the document discussed how the free software model is changing the way people do business."

You know what I do?

If I have any old Linux CDs I'm not using (i.e. Knoppix 3.5 when I've gotten Knoppix 3.7) and I'm going to the library, I pack them in my pocket. And I go to the computer books section. And I stick one into every MS-oriented book on the shelf, and leave them there. Today I did that to "the Senior's Guide to Computers". Here, try Ubuntu, grandma.

Then I go home and have a drink, because that's the only day when I feel like I've earned one.
